Trampoline updates to 2.3.2

We reported on Trampoline a while back-- it's a radial application launcher that bills itself as a way to give you quick access to your "core set" of tools. A few people have marked it as very similar to Sapiens, and that's true-- both are circular launchers that allow you to fire off applications quickly when you need them. Sapiens is a great application, but it seems to have a little more under the hood in terms of learning your apps and where to place them, whereas Trampoline seems to be more interested in just providing quick access, not mapping your apps out for you. The other main difference in usage seems to be that Sapiens can be activated with a circular mouse movement (sometimes a bonus, sometimes an annoyance, if you didn't mean to activate it), while Trampoline is activated with a mappable hotkey. It's up to you whether one is more or less efficient than the other.

At any rate, this is your Mac we're talking about, so you can use either or both or none. Trampoline's Joseph Wardell let us know that his application has just been updated to 2.3.2, which brings better compatibility with Leopard applications (including Time Machine), and some speed updates and improvements. Trampoline remains shareware (just like Sapiens, incidentally)-- use a trial for as long as you want, or support the application with a purchase for $19.95.
